The assumption that "progress" (apologies for my scare quotes) has a universally shared definition.

I would consider scientific progress (and therefore destruction of religion) a universally accepted progress.  I mean, you can be a religious and SAY it's not, but it's the same as a religious pointing at a duck and saying "NO IT'S A COW!". 

You don't know what religion is. You literally do not know what the actual social sciences definition of religion is.

Oh, Nathan.  Look at that post.  Just read it.  Can't you ever tell when I'm just having fun? 

Your definition of "fun" is pure evil, so...

And as for the answer to the OP's question, intelligent people.

Dicking around on a politics forum is evil?

Moderate Heroism.  The far right and the Tea Party movement are their greatest friend because it's helped them win countless races they wouldn't have otherwise.

Ah, yes, like how avowed and unapologetic True Leftist Joe Donnelly rose up against the neoliberal bourgeoisie pigdog Richard Mourdock and saved America as we know it.

Moderate heroes like Joe Lieberman really weakened the party. It's one thing if they're in a far-right wing area and are as reasonably liberal as you could be there (Jim Matheson), but we need to ditch the Carpers and Feinsteins.

No, like how Lugar would have beaten Donnelly easily in a general election and prevented the Senate from getting another fake "Blue Dog" that barks but doesn't bite.

Fully agree here.

Do you really have to use the term teabagger? It makes you look immature.
